Discovery 1 from 2001: A Space Odyssey -- Sphere with Pod Bay

thingiverse

I'm currently working on a 17 cm diameter print of a sphere with open pod bay door, interior, and EVA pods that will be showcased in progress photos once completed. The printer being used is an MB Replicator 2, and it's utilizing PLA filament at a resolution of 0.1 mm. I didn't design the interior or the EVA pods myself - my creative skills aren't quite up to par for such intricate designs. Instead, I found them online for free, but I'm unsure if I can share those files here as they're intended for graphics purposes, not 3D printing. What did require some effort on my part was a thorough cleanup process to make the designs printable. All that's left now is adding a flight deck and the centrifuge section to complete this impressive print!
